Pet Pantry Program Application

This form helps us learn about you and your pets so we can offer the best support possible.
All of your answers are private and kept confidential.

Free Pet Food & Supplies
Available to families in Utah. All items are donated and depend on what we have. They are meant to help support your pet, not replace all regular pet food. Assistance is per household.

No Proof of Income Needed
If you say you need help, we believe you.
No financial paperwork is required.

Length of Assistance
You can receive pantry support for up to 6 months. After a check-in, support may be extended up to 12 months total. Any help beyond that is decided case by case.

Spay/Neuter Requirement
Pets must be spayed or neutered within 6–12 months of starting the program. We may be able to help with the cost.

ID Required
Some form of ID is needed. It does not have to be government-issued. This can be a photo ID, a piece of mail with your name and address, or a note from a caseworker.

No New Pets
New pets cannot be added during the first 6 months unless there is a change in your situation and it is approved.

Picking Up for Someone Else
If you are picking up for another person, their information must be on file.

Phone Intake Required
A short 5–10 minute phone call is mandatory. If you need a different option, let us know- we’re happy to help.

Notice: Intake Process Update
Starting April 1, Pet Pantry intakes will move to an in-person meeting at Ruff Haven instead of a phone call. This meeting will include a brief intake review and your first pet food pickup.

If you need accommodations or an alternative option, please let us know and we will do our best to help.
